Is it possible for Apache to stop proxying AJP requests in a given time period?

  • 772

We have a service configured that must go down once a week for maintenance as it is dependent on the ERP system which goes down. I'm wondering if it's possible for Apache to stop forwarding requests to Tomcat and instead serve up static content?

I imagine I could achieve this by setting up a cron job to a2enable-site and a2disable-site respectively by having a static site that gets switched out for the proxy site though I was wondering if there was a different approach I could use.

    mod_rewrite can do rules based on the current time. Something like this untested snippet might just work:

    RewriteCond %{TIME_WDAY} 1
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} 5
RewriteRule .* /sorry.html [L,R]
